Re: PS VM curves is Picture Window

2003-10-22 by Jeff Randall

Paul:

When I was developing the MIS FS/FSN workflow for the 1160 I found 
that it is much easier to create the necessary curves in PWP because 
the curves window is fully scalable (allowing accurate tweaking) and 
there are no limits on the number of control points. The ability to 
read/edit the PW curve files with a text editor allowed me to 
manually input the curve coordinates into PhotoShop curves.
